some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch
when you push them down the stairs

The "Sports Bug" was an optioned out Beetle sold in the UK & North America & Maybe elsewhere... but NOT here..
I think it may have been a standard Beetle & NOT a SuperBug, from memory.. There was also the Sun Bug, the June Bug, the GT Beetle [standard ], the chocolate Beetle, the 1974 Jeans Beetle, and the 1975 Le Grande Beetle [ a Super Beetle} and in 1974 there was the Brazillian "Super Fusca" which was a 1600cc standard Beetle with fancy steel wheels, a Tachometer, Twin Carburetors, clock & reclining seats, later it also included a temperature gauge... and in 1981 the "silver Bug" [standard] with metallic silver paint..
So, there were many attempts to "tempt" the Beetle buying public to purchase a New special edition beetle....
Some of these were sold in the UK and some in the USA in different years...
